Remote work, Zoom meetings, and evolved employee expectations are all here to stay — To become truly Agile, you must rethink everything from your Leadership style to your organizational culture.
Most people are familiar with the definition of agile—able to move quickly and easily. Let us introduce you to Agile with a capital A—a philosophy that emphasizes close Team collaboration; fast, iterative delivery; and smarter ways to deliver maximum business value to Stakeholders. Agile is a better way to run your entire business.
Better Leadership
Agile Leaders are inclusive, empathetic managers who exhibit a greater openness to ideas and innovations. They lead with vision and empower Teams to be self-managing, which frees Leaders to escape from the “doing” and focus on the “strategic.”
BUILD CULTURE
Agile Organizations build their company culture around a set of shared beliefs, values, and vision, which creates a common bond between Leadership and Team Members. They achieve higher productivity, more individual happiness, and greater overall retention of talent.
Get Work Done
Agile Organizations are faster, more resilient, and more adaptable to change. Built on cross-functional, self-organizing, and self-managing Teams, they continuously inspect and adapt in order to streamline their work and get more done. Agile also improves customer satisfaction, buy-in, and participation in the production process so Organizations can focus on what matters most—delivering value to customers.
2020 was the year of shock, survival, and shutdowns. 2021 was the year of uncertainty, pivots, and adaptations. In 2022, the most flexible, fastest-moving organizations are going to thrive. Agility is the key to becoming more efficient, more effective, and more fulfilled as a Leader, as a Team, and as an Organization.
Today’s workforce is not in an office. Being Agile means building self-organizing and self-managing Teams that not only survive but thrive in remote environments.
It’s being called the Great Resignation. Being Agile means building unbreakable bonds with your Team so they won’t leave your Organization for one that values Agile more.
Employees demand flexibility in their schedules. Being Agile means shifting your focus from time-based clockwatching to results that measure delivered value.
New variants, new testing protocols, travel bans—the only constant in today’s world is change. Being Agile means embracing change by constantly inspecting and adapting.
